A Kennedale High School science teacher and coach has been arrested after authorities say they found one of his cameras mounted beneath the sink in a faculty lounge bathroom.

Kennedale Police Chief Tommy Williams says that Monday morning a female faculty member found a camera in the bathroom of the faculty lounge. She turned it over to the vice principal, who handed it over to police. An investigation turned up evidence, Williams says, that allowed them to identify Jason Tomlinson as the likely owner of the camera.

Tomlinson was arrested at his home Tuesday evening for improper photography or visual recording. Police seized all of his computer equipment and booked him into the Mansfield Law Enforcement Center, where he remains at the time of this posting.

Kennedale Independent School District officials don't want to comment due to the ongoing investigation. But Wednesday afternoon, Erin Hyden, the district's public relations coordinator, issued a statement that said district officials are "shocked and deeply saddened by the allegations against Mr. Jason Tomlinson." The teacher, hired by the district in January 2013, has been placed on administrative leave.

It's not yet clear what, if anything, is on the camera found beneath the sink -- or whether there are others.

"We've gotten so much computer equipment and footage, we don't have any idea of the scope of this investigation," says Willliams. "There may be nothing more than what we already have. We had no idea if we had any other cameras mounted. We have no idea if there are students involved. We have a lot of questions that have to be answered before we can say anything else."
